Bonkers LG OLED Concepts Could Be the Strangest Things at CES 2022

Flexible screens are now used in smartphones and even laptops , but LG think they should be the centerpiece of your home and it ’s hale two wacky concepts to theCES 2022show floor to convert you .

The first concept , what the Korean tech hulk calls “ Media Chair , ” consists of a rotating curved 55 - inch OLED TV behind a elementary reclining chair , both of which are housed in large curved mending . Speakers are built into the chair and the TV vibrates to make its own phone , so you should get something close to a 3D effect .

On the slim reclining professorship ’s armrest is a button that rotates the projection screen from perpendicular to horizontal orientation so you may switch between watching movies and , say , browsing the vane . And since the television set has a 1500R curvature ( the same curve of a roach with a 1.5 measure r ) , you’re able to sit close to the screen and see everything within your line of sight , no neck sophisticate necessary .

For now , the Media Chair is a concept , but LG Display toldThe Vergeit will be influence with an unspecified Korean massage chair maker to convey the merchandise to market . We do n’t make out how much this will be , but it certainly wo n’t fit anywhere close to within my budget . hone for the invaginate , this variety of thing will be for the loaded who can buy curving TV regard stations for each of their guest so nobody has to struggle over what to watch .

Flexible screen , in universal , will remain a luxury until they see the same adoption as OLED panels , which dropped from tens of thousands of dollars to around $ 1,000 at the cheapest in just a few years .

We ’re hopeful that happen soon because LG ’s other concept could do the impossible : get me excited about Cardio Day . Called “ Virtual Ride , ” this bonkers setup uses three vertical 55 - inch curl OLED displays identify in front of a funnily graceful stationary bike ( This one , I believe ) . Drawing your attention away from the rickety - look bicycle is the massive radius - shaped projection screen that starts near the floor , rise up several foot , then slue above your principal .

You could spin around while watching some slacken scenery , or in my case , move around on whatever TV show or movie will beneficial distract from the pain and woe ( I ’m kidding , sort of ) .

activate the panel to hulk above your head is a 500R curve , or a wheel spoke of 500 millimetre ( remember , the TV had a more gradual 1500R curve ) , which LG take to be the sozzled curve among existing large displays .

These two concepts demonstrate how LG ’s pliable organic light-emitting diode panels can be used outside of traditional practical app like your sound , laptop , or television set . We wo n’t be at CES 2022 this yr to gawk at these screen door , but I hope LG pushes to make them mainstream . Hell , enough time on that bike , and I might adopt these screens ’ tractableness .
